iMac Intel 21.5" Retina 4K Display Adhesive Strips Replacement
Introduction
Passez à l'étape 1For the updated guide, click here. This guide has been archived for historical purposes.
Removing the display requires cutting through the adhesive around the perimeter of the screen. After the adhesive is cut, it cannot be used to re-seal the display in place, so you'll need to apply a new set of adhesive strips.

If you are re-using your existing display, you must also remove the old adhesive from the back of the display.
-
Peel off the old strips of adhesive using tweezers or your fingers. Start at the bottom and peel upward towards the top of the device.
-
After all the old adhesive is removed, carefully clean the area under the adhesive with 90% (or greater) isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth. Wipe in one direction, not back and forth.

-
With the spudger still poking through the hole in the adhesive strip, push the spudger tip into the corresponding hole in the frame of the iMac.
-
Using the hole and spudger to anchor the position of the adhesive strip, line the strip up against the right edge, gently pulling up against the spudger to ensure the strip is taut, and stick it onto the frame.

Grasp the red film pull tab on the 4R adhesive strip and pull to remove the backing from the strip.
-
Align the strip on the bottom edge of the rear enclosure, directly to the right of the middle screw on that edge.
-
Run your finger along the length of the adhesive strip to ensure it is straight and unwrinkled, pressing down as you go to adhere the strip to the iMac.

When I received the adhesive strip kit and pizza cutting tool, my initial thought was that it was overpriced. This turned out not to be the case, as the adhesive strips are cut perfectly and install with great predictability. The guide is an excellent step by step tutorial which, along with the pre-cut strips, enables a handyman to complete his first time repair with a professional outcome.
I did complete this process and turned out fine in the end but when I initially removed the blue tape there was about a 16th of an inch gap between the glass and bottom lip of the iMac case. When I had tilted the glass up using the tape like a hinge I guess the monitor either stretched the tape or something and when it had come down it landed in the wrong spot so be careful with the tape you use. I had not firmly pressed down the glass yet and I was able to separate the pieces and reattach the monitor in the right place. I did it without the tape and it wasn't very difficult although it did require a second person to hold a book along one side of the iMac so I was able to snug the glass against 2 sides (the book and the bottom lip of the iMac case) to get proper alignment. The guide and adhesive kit was indispensable. Thanks a ton.
Great kit and made a fine job of the repair. You would never know the case had been opened.
be careful not to stretch the stickers as you place them down, it’s easy to do if your not careful.
Same probem then jhweb522, : i strongly pressed to the screen to down before the last step in order to minimize this little gap, and the final result is quite good, but not perfect.
